GIVE IT UP FOR DRAMA!
-yay drama-

Sam and Jen led the way through the auditorium with the adults in tow. When they got rounded the corner they saw a table with a very bored man sitting at it. Jen skipped up to the table and slammed her stuff on it making the man jump. He blinked a little daze but finally got himself together to deal with Jen. Sam stood behind her waiting. She was really nervous…she had no idea what she was suppose to do.

Suddenly this felt like a very stupid idea.

"Next," the man called making Sam jump just like he had earlier. Sam was happy to see Gram step up with her. Sam set her bad down and bent over to read some of the papers. When she looked up she saw the guy staring at her and blushed.

"Name?" The guy asked still staring at her.

"Uh, Samantha Forster," she managed to squeak out through her discomfort. A look of realization came over his face as he rummaged through his papers.

"Ah, hold on a sec…" he said grabbing a piece of paper and going into the auditorium. Jen started giggling and Sam turned to glare at her.

"Just add him to your little fan club…" she said still giggling. Sam just rolled her eyes as the guy walked back out.

"The director's been waiting for you!" He said happily sitting back down. Just then Kyle Ginny walked through the doors with a huge grin on his face.

"Samantha!" He called coming over and shocking her by giving her a hug. Sam looked at her friends and family who all had smirks on their faces and Sam groaned inwardly. He looked up and seemed confuse.

"Where's your dad?" He asked scratching his head.

"He couldn't come…" Sam started as he frowned slightly.

"I'm her Grandmother," Gram said stepping up. Kyle clapped his hands and smiled.

"Ah, good, good," he said before grabbing my hand and towing me away from them. Gram followed.

"Wait where are we going? What about my friends?" Sam said looking back at Jen who was waving at her excitedly.

"We are going to see the people who are in charge of casting...so they can see what I was talking about," he said turning to Sam and giving her a wink.

"Wait I thought you were in charge of everything?" Sam asked confused. He laughed.

"Technically I am…they just give me their opinions and their own selections…" he said opening the door to the teacher's lounge. There were a few people waiting in their and they all looked up when the door opened. Sam noticed Violette sitting at one of the tables looking annoyed. Once she saw Sam her eyes bugged out of her head and she stopped tapping her fake nails on the table top.

"Well you clean up nice cowgirl," she said with a bit of an evil grin on her face. Sam felt the heat rise in her cheeks.

"Um…thanks," she managed to say squirming a bit under everyone's scrutinizing stare. A woman with glasses stood up and started circling Sam like she was sizing up her prey. Sam tried to keep her breathing steady and not move. She managed…barely.

"She definitely something to look at Kyle…but you said no acting experience?" The woman said as if Sam weren't standing there.

What am I a tool? Sam thought. Kyle smiled as if this was something he wanted to hear.

"Well not exactly…except that one stunt. But really we've taken nobody's in before and they turned out great!" He said looking at Violette. Sam wasn't sure if she should take offense to this so she just kept her mouth shut.

"Hmm, you said she sings and plays guitar?" The lady asked.

Uh-oh.

"Oh she plays the piano too!" Gram said behind Sam. It took all of her strength not to turn and strangle her grandmother. The glasses lady smiled.

"Very good, then if you will please follow me." She said walking out the door. Everyone followed her back to the auditorium. Two men were pushing a piano out onto the stage and Sam froze.

"Well let's just make sure you at least have one talent." Said the glasses lady sitting down. Sam froze but Gram patted her shoulder and whispered in her ear.

"You can do it Sam, just pretend your singing to your mom." This shocked Sam. How did Gram know? Sam took a deep breath and went up on the stage. It took her a minute to get adjusted to the blinding spotlight before she could sit at the piano. It only took her a minute to think of a perfect song. She started playing the opening notes and was thankful that she wasn't shaking.

Hmmm whoa yea...

I feel these four walls closing in
My face up against the glass
I'm looking out... hmm
Is this my life I'm wondering
It happened so fast
How do I turn this thing around
Is this the bed I chose to make
Its greener pastures I'm thinking about hmm
Wide open spaces far away

All I want is the wind in my hair
To face the fear but, not feel scared

Sam forgot the about everyone else. She was so engrossed into her song it made it easier to play and sing.

Wild horses I wanna be like you
Throwing caution to the wind
I'll run free too
Wish I could recklessly love, like I'm longing to
Run with the wild horses, run with the wild horses!
Oh yeah yeah…

I see the girl I wanna be
Riding bare back, care free along the shore
If only that someone was me
Jumping head first headlong without a thought
To act and damn the consequence
How I wish it could be that easy
But fear surrounds me like a fence
I wanna break free

Sam couldn't help but think about Blackie…being bareback and running across the desert floor. Everything passing so fast it felt like they were flying instead. She smiled.

All I want is the wind in my hair
To face the fear but, not feel scared
Hoohhh whoa whoa

Wild horses I wanna be like you
Throwing caution to the wind
I'll run free too
Wish I could recklessly love, like I'm longing to
I wanna run with the wild horses, run with the wild horses!
Oh yeah yea

I wanna run too.
Hohhh whoa oh whoa oh

Breaklessly abandoning my self before you

I wanna open up my heart tell him how I feel

I wanna run with the wild horses

She finished the song and let out a sigh of relief. She was a little worried when it was silent so she slowly looked up. She cursed the lights since they made it so she couldn't see their faces. Suddenly one of the stood up and started clapping. Everyone followed suit and Sam help but smile. But was a little terrified to see there were a lot more people in the auditorium than she thought.

"Samantha! Sam darling! That was spectacular!" The lady with glasses said running up onto the stage with Kyle behind her.

"Told you Shellie," he said smiling brilliantly at Sam.

So the glasses lady name was Shellie…good to put a name to the beast. Sam could hardly keep up with the chatter around her now that many people had joined her on stage. Jen came up and gave her a hug.

"You put that one in the bag!" She said drawing out bag. Sam laughed finally relaxing a little.

"You should see some of those envious girls out there…" Jen said tsking her tongue. "Oh and some really hot guys totally lusting after you…" she added fanning herself off. Sam rolled her eyes and smacked her friends arm. Sam jumped as someone put their arm over her shoulder. She looked up to see Kyle.

"So Sam it doesn't usually work this way…but everyone agrees with me now and think that you would be perfect! What do you say?" He said grinning down at her. Jen squealed beside her.

"Um…wow?"—Sam looked behind her to see Gram chatting with Shellie—"Gram!"

Gram looked at Sam and excused herself and came over to Sam.

"Gram, Kyle has something to tell you," Sam said smiling happily now…totally shocking herself. Kyle repeated what he said to Gram and Gram was smiling just as dumbly as Sam.

"Wonderful!" Gram exclaimed. Kyle seemed happy by this because he patted Sam on the back.

"Great! You'll be seeing me! I'll come by your place with everything you need to know," he said looking around.

"I would take care of everything today…but we have to let everyone audition…so with that said…I gotta go. Congratulations!" He said following everyone off the stage. Sam left the auditorium with her friends and family. They all climbed in the car and looked at each other. Suddenly they all squealed and bounced in their seats.

Sam plugged her ears and just smiled.
